I have a coolant warning message coming up on the dashboard it reads
COOLANT VISIT WORKSHOP

I have just replaced the rad and renewed the coolant does anyone know if i can reset this or do i have to take it to dealer.

You possibly have an airlock after replacing the rad, recheck the level and give the top and bottom hoses a few squeezes to expel any trapped air.

No reset is necessary once the level is monitored as being correct.

As panosonic,, was the warning on before you did the work

No there was no message before i removed the rad.

2001 that should be a 203

the sensor is 190 in the link, is the wire off the sensor and is the water covering the top of it.

Could be an air lock as Panosonic squeeze the bottom large hose a few times

I know there is a sensor for the coolant level and that works fine but is there another sensor

Make sure your washers are topped up as this can cause a coolant warning to come up in error!!

have you taken it for a good long run (20 mile+) and run the heater at hot/cold/hot to get total circulation?? this will purge any remaning air and you can then top up to correct level
